Should I report my Class Rank?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys!
So my school is giving students the option to report report our class ranks on our transcripts, but they aren't sending the ranks unless we tell them to. I was wondering if you think it would be good for me to send my class rank or not to schools that I'm applying to.
My rank is 51/400 which puts me in top 15% of my class (12.75%). My grades are pretty good, but I know they're not the best. </p>

<p>Here are the schools that I'm looking to apply to, and I'm likely going to go into Engineering.</p>

<p>University of Illinois Urbana Champaign
Northwestern University
NYU Polytech
Georgia Tech
Boston University
Columbia
Cooper Union
University of Chicago
Union College
Tulane University
Drexel University
Fordham University
and Hofstra University</p>

<p>So do you guys think that I should report my class rank, or not?
Thanks!!! :)</p>

<p>Try looking in their common data sets to see whether they consider class rank and where your class rank stands relative to their admitted students.</p>

<p>In reality colleges infer class rank based on the school profile provided by the HS so it won’t matter much if it’s not provided.</p>

<p>Thank you! I should also add that my unweighted GPA is 3.58, so I guess the real question is does my rank help my GPA, which is on the lower end, look better? What do you guys think?</p>
